Visiting Campus

All Online MPH students spend 15 days on the Berkeley Campus during the program with one visit in the summer of year 1 and a second visit in summer of year 2.

While here you will meet with School of Public Health Librarians and have access to Career Counseling/Leadership Development Services.

Strengthening connections among online students and with SPH faculty!
